Well folks, wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year, and with that here's the official local weather thread for 2019!

And of course, in the Southern Plains, an interesting start to the weather.

Model forecasts are hinting at around 1-3 inches of snow in our area with some ice, subject to change of course.

Most over-used phrase of 2020: "New normal". Can we stop with that already? Pandemics do not last forever, and things will eventually go back to normal, just like they always were. You're welcome!

So we got pretty much everything here. Precip began as rain last night, then transitioned to freezing rain and sleet of which we got about 0.3 inches. Precip continued as sleet/freezing rain mixing in with snow during the day, then became all snow this evening. South side of the metro has anywhere from .2 to .4 inches of ice, and 1-3 inches of snow on top. However, further up north in the main part of the metro, snow has been occurring a lot longer and a band of moderate to heavy snow is still falling, totals will probably exceed 5 inches. Some parts of the metro have already had over 6 inches of snow.

See the upper 50s/low 60s temps in the TX panhandle for tomorrow? Those will be our high temps come Sunday and Monday. Snow? What snow?

It's 40C local and the Air Conditioners are set to 18C, but are delivering 30C best case scenario.

Call 911 now.

I am an accountant working full-time (and some). I'm not here as often as I would like to be. Send a message if you need me. There are a few people in the community who can get in contact with me urgently if you need - don't be afraid to ask. I just don't check here as frequently as I used to. Sorry!

A relatively active pattern continues here, more rain coming tomorrow. Can't complain though, things can easily go from surplus moisture to drought in this part of the world. Temps are at or slightly above average.

Weather is more or less typical of January around here. Had a high of 53F today, and very strong south winds. Tomorrow, winds will stay quite breezy out of the south but then turn to a northerly direction after a cold front passage and be just as gusty. The rest of the week we will have highs around seasonal averages but it will remain quite windy for most of the week.

It's clear and cold right now, but there is rain and even colder weather coming. If it rains at 41°F and then drops to 21°F, the wet spots will probably freeze. That's the kind of thing that leads to broken power lines. I'm kind of hoping it never gets warm enough to rain and it just snows.

Attention all .gov chem trail jet pilots, Northwest TN needs your help. All you need to do is fly over and create two to four inches of snow by 4 AM so we can un-bag the bread and milk and have an epic snow day victory royal!

So we had some light freezing rain and sleet off and on during the day, but lucked out big time. Out west was a band of heavy precip that setup and dumped anywhere from 2-6 inches of sleet and snow. Highs in our area today ranged from the mid-20s to the low 30s. Tomorrow, sunnier and a high around 45F. Another system comes in late this week but with much warmer conditions and a chance of storms.

Another day, another freezing something. This time it was freezing drizzle that started very early this morning and continued for much of the day today. It was heavy enough to form a fairly decent layer of ice on cars parked outside. Numerous accidents across the metro this morning (most likely due to people driving too fast for the conditions), including a 14-vehicle pileup. Tomorrow, the high temp gets above freezing and should get some sunlight, then highs in the mid-50s on Friday before another system comes in on the weekend with a chance of snow. Ready for Spring!

Spring has sprung in the southern plains and with it, so have the storms. We had some non-severe storms in the morning, then later this afternoon some severe storms that put down golf ball size hail in the north metro. Lots of people outside on a weekend day caught in the weather, many drivers were taking shelter from 2" hail under highway overpasses and driving "erratically" according to one local station storm chaser. Looks like "first storm surprise" for many folks lol.

Cold front moving through right now with an additional line of storms. Expecting quieter weather for tomorrow and next week though.
